      6 Xft version 2.1 was the first stand alone release of Xft, a library that
      7 connects X applications with the FreeType font rasterization library. Xft
      8 uses fontconfig to locate fonts so it has no configuration files.

     11

     15 pre-dated pkgconfig support.
     16 
     17 Raised minimum required versions to freetype2 2.1.6 & fontconfig 2.5.92.
